Yokai Watch 2 actually doing really well in Europe...



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Still no Xbox game in the top20.
Mario Kart 8, Persona 5, Zelda BoTW,... are selling like hotcakes.
Horizon Zero Dawn isnt selling as fast anymore, but its still top20, along with Kingdom Hearts (1,5+2,5).

i never thought Horizon would still be top 20 after nearly 7 weeks, especially when it was so strong leading up to release as well



Horizon feels like itll have about a 5mil shipment (or maybe 4.5mil) by last quarter (end of march).

Also to note, the top 20 isnt the same as the top 20 from 2months ago (and before it). With the psn cards and now switch glass protector as well as botw/switch console+pro controller/etc, being in the 11th-20th place is equivalent to being in that 5th-10th spot imo



Switch and Nes are charting quite well!

Welp, I ended up buying a Switch on Thursday. I saw one on the Walmart shelf and bought it along with Zelda. Good system, very good game, but holy damn, does it need more games to come out. I understand it's launch, but aside from Mario Kart and Zelda, there isn't much else for me yet. I can see the system's appeal to more casual gamers, though, it's very easy to set up and use. I'm still going to do most of my gaming on the ps4, but the Switch is a very capable machine (I'm using it as a handheld) and it's going to especially come in handy when I leave the country for a bit this summer. 

 

I can see the US (and Amazon) being Switch and PS4 territory well into fall, and both should do very well these holidays, with PS4 at $199 and Switch hitting its first Christmas.
